🌻 A FREE sunflower field in Dublin that you can pick your own flowers from!

📍 Search “Sunflower Field for St Francis Hospice” on Google Maps
Swords Road, Ballyboughal, North County Dublin

We normally visit the Sunflower Field of Life much earlier in the season. The sunflowers weren’t quite as tall this year and many are now beginning to lose their petals, but it was still such a lovely little adventure.

It’s completely free to visit, with a donation pot for St Francis Hospice. Scissors are provided so you can pick a few blooms to bring home too.

It’s the end of the season, so don’t leave it too long! I'd say this is the last week. 🌻

10 years ago, I walked into a baby massage class with my own little baby. Of course, I went to learn baby massage. But looking back, it gave me so much more than that. It was a reason to get dressed, get out of the house and spend an hour completely focused on my baby. No washing. No jobs. No rushing around. Just the two of us. And most importantly, I met other mums.

Because those early months with a baby can be absolutely beautiful, but sitting in a room with other parents who are in the same stage as you really is an incredible support.

Now, 10 years later, it feels really special to be able to offer that same experience to other parents as I complete my baby massage training.

📍 Rush Multipurpose Youth Facility
🗓️ Tuesday 15th September at 10am
🤍 5-week course — just €25 for all 5 classes
👶 For newborns –12 months

We’ll learn gentle baby massage techniques, but there’ll also be time to slow down, chat, meet other parents and simply enjoy being with your baby.

As these classes form part of my training, I’m looking for families who can attend all five weeks and are happy to give me some feedback at the end.

If you’re in that baby bubble at the moment and would love a reason to get out each week, meet some other parents and have some lovely one-to-one time with your baby, I would love to have you there.

Places are limited, just 1 space remaining. Book through the link in my bio, or tag/send this to a new parent who might need this little hour in their week.

After watching thousands of children play, one thing has become very clear: children are far more capable than they are often given credit for.

They don’t need us to show them the “right” way to play. They need time to look, test, repeat, change their minds and come back to something when they’re ready.

Our role isn’t to keep entertaining them or moving them towards the next activity. Often, it’s simply to create an inviting environment, stay close and resist the urge to take over.

Because when we step back, we get to see the ideas children already have, and they’re usually much more interesting than the ones we had planned for them.

Have you ever set up an activity only for your child to become completely absorbed in something else?
